Back to upper/lower:advice?19131

Hey guys, so Im switching back to an upper/lower routine after 6 months of "bro" splits and minimal progress (though nutrition and recovery are to blame here).

My previous upper/lower was enjoyable, but i wanted more volume per body part without spending more time in the gym. So, I thought Id try a setup with a chest emphasis one day and back emphasis the other, like this:

I enjoy PPL and made great gains when I used it, but I only have 4 days to lift for about an hour each and no weekends.
Upper/lower seems the best option in this case, but man do I miss PPL, love the strength gains.

This is what I do and it works well for me because sometimes I can only get in twice a week and sometimes I can get in 5 days a week but it allows you to be flexible. Upper lower split would be tough to do 5 days a week unless I took some volume out of the routine.
